Ha Seok-ju (Hangul: 하석주; born February 20, 1968) is a South Korean football manager and former player. Ha was one of the few left-footed South Korean players at the time.

International career

He played for the South Korea national football team, and was a participant in 1994 and 1998 FIFA World Cup. In the 1998 World Cup, he played the first game against Mexico, scoring the opener with a free kick. However, he was sent off for an ill-advised tackle three minutes after his goal. South Korea conceded three goals after his exit. He also could not play the game against the Netherlands due to the punishment for his red card, and South Korea lost 5–0 during his absence. He came back for the last game against Belgium, assisting Yoo Sang-chul's equaliser with a free kick again. He contributed to all of South Korea's two goals in the 1998 World Cup, but due to the red card was hated among fans. He was also feeling guilty towards the manager Cha Bum-kun, who was sacked from the national team in the middle of the tournament, and so he avoided Cha for 20 years.
